It looks like Verizon finally plans to make the Palm Treo 755p smartphone available to its customers.

If you recall, the device is available for Sprint subscribers for more than 6 months now, and Verizon simply must launch it before Christmas if they intend to generate good sales.

Treo 755p operates on Garnet OS and features 64MB of on-board memory, a 320 x 320 screen, a QWERTY keyboard, 3G support, and a miniSD card slot.

Palm plans to update their Treo 750 smartphone to be fully compatible with Microsoft System Mobile Device Center 2008 software.

This will allow IT specialists to remotely manage their devices and will give more control over their sistem and functions. In addition, Palm in association with Garmin has developed GPS Navigator software for Palm OS based devices.

Verizon Wireless unveiled 4 new business smartphones for the rest of the year:

• Samsung i760: a Windows Mobile 6 based slider with both the numeric keypad and full QWERTY keyboard. Features include stereo Bluetooth, a 1.3Mpixl camera, and EV-DO data. It will be available online starting October 19 for $350 after rebate and new2-year contract.

Alltel subscribers will soon be able to get their hands on several new handsets in the nearest future.

And now by order: the first is Palm Treo 755p smartphone, not the best option to choose; next is the Blackberry Pearl 8130, which will launch along with the 755p; and the last smartphone is the one named UTStarcom 6850, probably a re-branded version of the HTC Mogul.

Vodafone will release the new Palm Treo 500v smartphone on Friday.

The device will be available for GBP85.11 or for free, depending on your contract.

New customers will also get a new Vodafone interface for the handset as well as GBP50 worth of Bluetooth equipment.

SlingPlayer Mobile is a new software application from Sling Media, allowing SlingBox users to watch and control their TV at home from their mobile device, including local channels, video on demand, pay per view content, and programs recorded onto a DVR.

The player is compatible with Nokia E and N series S60-based phones, and supports Wi-Fi and 3G networks.

Palm Centro is the company's latest smartphone available exclusively from Sprint.

It is a small, easy to use, yet powerful handset packed with advanced communication and multimedia features.

The phone is available in onyx black or ruby red colors and comes with a built-in digital camera.

Rumor has it that Palm plans to launch the new Treo 500 WM6-based smartphone on September 12th.

Here a list of its yet unconfirmed specs:

• Size: 61 x 110 x 16mm;
• OS: Windows Mobile 6;
• Network: UTMS;
• Screen: 320 x 240 TFT;
• Camera: 2Mpix;
• Connectivity: Bluetooth;
• Memory: 150MB on-board + microSD card slot.

Some new details about the forthcoming Palm Centro leaked in the Web.

It will be the company's slimmest smartphone, featuring a full QWERTY keyboard, 1.3Mpix camera, SprintSpeed (EVDO), SprintTV, On Demand, SMS/MMS/IM/Email, and Google Maps integration.

The release is scheduled on Q4 2007.

Palm will announce its latest smartphone on September 12th and for this reason has opened an email notification page, so that anyone could be the first to know about their newest release.

The company also intends to give away five handsets to five lucky participants from Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain or UK.
